Be a Local

We are so excited to bring you all to New Orleans. We will be adding interesting local tidbits and links to this page over the next few weeks.
There are a couple of important things to keep in mind when visiting our lovely city:

WEATHER: Be ready for anything in December!
We want you to be comfortable as you explore the French Quarter, the Faubourg Marigny and the Bywater which means:

  • Bring an umbrella
  • Wear comfortable shoes
  • Expect temperatures anywhere in the 50s to the 70s
  • Check the weather AGAIN before you go!

SAFETY: You all know the drill–please use caution and good sense, and stay mindful of your environment. We do not recommend exploring alone at night in any neighborhood that is unfamiliar to you, even if it looks safe.
